NBC SPECIALS --(8:00PM-9:00PM)

"The Happy Elf"

NBC Makes this Christmas memorable by celebrating the holiday season with legendary performer Harry Connick, Jr., starring in his first ever 3D animated family holiday special, "The Happy Elf." Starring the voice and music of Harry Connick, Jr. as the animated narrator tells the story of Eubie the Elf, one of Santa's helpers whose overly enthusiastic, rose-colored view of the holiday season is put to the test when he sets out to bring Christmas joy to a dreary town called Bluesville. "The Happy Elf" also stars the talented voice cast of Carol Kane, Lewis Black, Mickey Rooney and Rob Paulsen. This destined-to-be holiday classic also includes all new original holiday songs written and composed by Connick.
